Marijuana

weeds cool.
I think of it as far less of a "drug" than I do alcohol or a lot of the shit doctors prescribe.

vape it

If i ever start smoking again, I wont. I tried a vaporizer over x-mas and thought it was awesome. I would only "vape" now, such a better alternative.

This thread makes me want to go light up after work.

I used to smoke a shit ton in high school but its become a rare thing for me nowadays. I smoke maybe once or twice a month.

I would love to see more decriminalization b/c I think thats the first step.

This thing is really great, i love it.



Vaporizer/waterpipe, it's from Europe, kinda rare around the US. They go for about $700, and hit like a dream.

Right, being as medical science has shown Marijuana mixed with booze causes Cardiac Arrest.

Admit it, you are only an EMT-1A, like I am and do not have the ability to provide a sound medical diagnosis.

Please, show me where it has been shown that those two cause that.




It's called a panic attack. It is not a Cardiac Arrest, Respiratory Arrest, or even an Arrest Arrest. I hate armchair medical providers, now get back to driving Code 3 to get the Medic in the back to the hospital with the patient, you are only a glorified medical taxi driver.

Here you go.

Good call by the way, I am a basic, but can you guess what else?

Let's see, I'm airlifted into pretty dangerous places, I can have a person out from under a building in a matter of hours, and then I take them back up to the helicopter and set an IV while we fly off into the sunset. It's a little bit beyond the basic scope of practice isn't it?

And yeah, I still get a tingle downstairs when my pager goes off, even if I am just a bus driver. It's a good way to pass the time during school and between disasters.

I vaporize marijuana everyday. Nothing wrong with it IMO.

I see it becoming a problem when social circles revolve around smoking pot (been there, and it's tough to get away from).

One side-effect I enjoy from getting high is that it assists me in taking notice of the small things in life :)

Pot > Booze any day (I enjoy both).

I don't get laid as much when I smoke weed. Sex -- my anti-drug.

In other news:


Measure to legalize marijuana will be on California's November ballot

An initiative to legalize marijuana and allow it to be sold and taxed will appear on the November ballot, state election officials announced Wednesday, triggering what will probably be a much-watched campaign that once again puts California on the forefront of the nation's debate over whether to soften drug laws....The initiative would allow adults 21 or older to possess up to an ounce for personal use....The initiative would also allow adults to grow up to 25 square feet of marijuana per residence or parcel.

You are basing your knowledge on a fucking CASE REPORT? Do you know what a case report is? It's a report of a VERY RARE patient encounter (in which they clearly suggest that COCAINE is more likely than weed/EtOH to kill someone due to an arrhythmia). Wait a few years until you learn something before posting medical info dipshit. BTW try a META ANALYSIS if you want some real info.

Ask yourself why I posted that and you'll realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with building my own personal knowledge base; I've seen one already, so I don't have to prove to myself that it's possible. Farbin asked me directly to, "Please, show me where it has been shown that those two [marijuana + EtOH] cause that", which is exactly what that case report does.

Anyone who paid attention in their middle school health class knows opiates can cause cardiac arrest, but being more likely doesn't do anything to refute the researchers' conclusions.

I guess I'm just picking at the "it's more dangerous than you think" issue but it seems like most people here are aware of that. Still, I think it's important to increase public awareness of all possible complications, especially as more people start to use.

It's obvious where I stand on this issue by now and I expect plenty of criticism on that, I'm not sure where the "fucking retarded glorified taxi driver" bullshit is coming from; I guess you know more about myself than I do.

This guy hit the nail right on the head. There is no problem with casually smoking weed. But when an entire group's lives start to revolve around it, then it becomes an issue. Just like alcohol. Or any drug. I've seen it happen to friends and it's sad.
